Bachelor

Chapter 86 The Two-Year Covenant
After saying these words, Sun Dan felt a burst of relief.

There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he already had a clear idea.

If I worshiped under Yang Shen's family, I might be able to "send me to Qingyun by virtue of the good wind" when I first entered the officialdom. But when Yang Tinghe stepped down from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet in the third year of Jiajing, I would also be unlucky with him .

Speaking of Jiajing, he is a bit like Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty in many ways.He has great political skills and a strong will.But he is narrow-minded and has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes.Appreciating a person is love to the extreme, but once he hates a person, that person is not as good as shit in his eyes.

In the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty, the controversy over discussing great rites appeared to be caused by Emperor Jiajing's rejuvenation of the king's honorary title for his father.But in fact, it is the struggle between imperial power and the power of the prime minister, the political differences between the emperor and the civil official group.

Emperor Jiajing had always been cruel to his political opponents, without any kindness at all.

After Yang Tinghe resigned from his position as a cabinet minister and returned to his hometown for retirement, Yang Shen became a member of the court civil servant group, and he was the emperor's first target to be defeated.

After a series of political struggles, Yang Shen was exiled in Yongchangwei, Yunnan, and returned to his hometown in Sichuan after more than 30 years.Throughout his life, he has made no achievements in politics.

After the downfall of the Yang family and his son, most of the Yang family officials were also relegated.

Not only that, but in the sixth year of Jiajing's reign, the case of Yang Shen sued by hundreds of officials from Jinyiwei and the Salary Office involved a wide range of subjects.Yang Tinghe's other son, son-in-law, and disciple were all demoted to civilians, arrested and imprisoned.One of Yang Tinghe's adoptive sons committed suicide in anger on the way to Beijing after being arrested.

Since then, the entire Yang family civil service system has been swept away by Jiajing.

This is also Sun Dan's foresight of history as a modern person.

If he worshiped under Yang Shen now, he might be able to become a high official in the next one or two years.However, once Jiajing ascended the throne and the throne was stabilized, what awaited him, Sun Dan, was an unexpected danger.

Why is Sun Dan studying so hard now? Isn't it just to get ahead in this damn Ming Dynasty and live a corrupt life with rich clothes and good food?

If it is true, he does not have any political ideals for the country and the people.In the eyes of a modern person, the future discussion of grand ceremony is very ridiculous.

"I, Sun Dan, came to the Ming Dynasty to make soy sauce, why should I get involved in this kind of thing?"

"Sun Dan can't worship under Mr.'s school." Once he made up his mind, Sun Dan didn't hesitate.

Hearing this, Sun Henian's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Sun Dan with an incredulous expression, the three long strands of beard were automatic without wind.

Seeing Sun Dan's refusal, Yang Shen wasn't angry, instead he smiled peacefully and asked, "Brother Sun Dan, do you despise my talent?"

"No, Xueshi Yang is the No.1 scholar in the country, the number one scholar in the dynasty. In my Ming Dynasty, if it is said that the records are the most extensive and the writings are the most abundant, there is no one around Mr. It is the dream of any student to worship under Mr. Extravagant hope. However, Sun Dan really can't worship under the teacher, please forgive me."

"Bastard!" Sun Henian slapped the table.

"Brother He Nian, don't be angry, listen to Brother Dan to finish." Yang Shen continued to ask Sun Dan: "Brother Sun must have some difficulties, you and I met very happily on Daming Lake that day. You might as well say it clearly.”

Naturally, Sun Dan would not tell him that you, Yang Shen, are going to be in big trouble. If I follow you, not only will I be stripped of my title and my reputation will be disqualified, but I may even stay in prison for the rest of my life.You, Yang Shen, are famous all over the world, the emperor will not do anything to you.But for a small character like me, if he is beaten to death with a scepter, he will be killed, no one cares.

If you say this to him now, you will definitely be regarded as an idiot.

To be a human being, one must learn to reject, and when rejecting others, it is best to take the height of morality.

"Back to Scholar Yang, Sun Dan has already worshiped Mr. Li Meiting. If you switch to you now, it is not the reason for Sun Dan to be a man. A gentleman should put loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, integrity and shame first. If Sun Dan turns to Mr. Li, Don't you want to be that disloyal and unrighteous person. If Sun Dan really did this, can you still see me?" Sun Dan said solemnly: "If Bachelor Yang is the current academician, according to the rules of the examination room, Sun Dan will fall You can call Mr. Teacher, but if you do this to your student, Sun Dan will not agree."

"Okay!" Before Yang Shen could speak, Sun Henian was already full of praise.He was originally a Mr. Morality, and Sun Dan's words were right in his heart.

Yang Shen also said hello, and stood up excitedly: "It's really good, it's really good, it's not in vain that I, Yang Shen, valued people. He has the character of the ancients, and he will become a great weapon in the future. Brother He Nian, the Sun family has such a child, It will be great."

Sun Henian stroked his beard proudly and said, "A child should not be praised by Xiu."

Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief: this test has finally passed.

"People say that Sun Dan is the grand horse of the Sun family, so he gave up just like that, but Yang Shen is a bit unwilling." Yang Shen walked up to Sun Dan and suddenly asked, "Brother Sun, you will have confidence in Qiu Wei next year."

Sun Dan: "Do your best."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the capital to take the exam and see if you win a Jinshi." Yang Shen laughed loudly and said, "When you win the exam, I will ask the emperor to be the chief examiner. You won the exam." Jinshi, I will naturally be your teacher. If you fail, you are not qualified to be my student. Brother Sun, at that time, are you willing or not? If you are willing, we will make a two-year agreement .” After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

"Using cultivation..." Sun Henian shook his head again and again, and said to himself: It really is the habit of a talented person, who can even think of such a thing.

Sun Dan helplessly gave Yang Shen a high-five, and made a bet with him: "If I become a Jinshi in two years' time, and Mr. Yang is the chief examiner, Sun Dan will naturally come to pay homage to you as his teacher."

If history does not go wrong, Jiajing will open Enke ahead of schedule next year, and the two-year agreement may be voided.If you really got a Jinshi, you don't have to go to apprentice.Besides, next year will be the busiest year for the ceremony, and the emperor and the Yang family will be in conflict, so naturally Yang Shen will not be allowed to take the main exam to strengthen the power of the Yang clan.

Sun Dan was not worried.

Withdrawing his palm in satisfaction, Yang Shen suddenly remembered: "Brother Sun, you almost couldn't enter the gate of the Gongyuan this time, could it be because you missed the hour because of snooze?" Feeling very dissatisfied with what the family did, he wanted to take this opportunity to give Sun Dan a long shot.

Sun Dan smiled slightly: "The boy is just a small gardener in the Sun's residence, and he has work to do every day. On the day of the exam, I happened to have work at hand, and I rushed over after finishing it. Fortunately, Mr. Wang Make an exception and let the students enter the examination room, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, it will be a big mistake." Yang Shen nodded: "It is clear that you are lazy by nature, but you want to find this kind of excuse. Little brother of the Sun family, a scholar of my generation, thinks about himself every day, how can we shirk it?" Responsibility, no commitment?"

"Sir, you taught me the right thing." Sun Dan said sincerely.

Yang Shen shook his head: "It's good to know that I'm wrong. I'm busy with business, so I'll take a step ahead. Farewell."

Seeing Yang Shen's leaving back, Sun Henian's expression changed, and he turned to Madam Liu, "Ma'am, did Sun Dan arrange any work in the early morning of the day of the exam? Who arranged it, and how did he arrange it?"

Mrs. Liu raised her head and gave Sun Dan a hard look, but there was a hypocritical smile on the corner of her mouth: "But I don't know about it. I've been feeling tired recently, and I've entrusted Aunt Jing to handle the affairs of the mansion. Master can ask her."

When Aunt Jing heard what Mrs. Liu said, her face immediately turned pale.

Fortunately, family ugliness should not be publicized, and Sun Henian didn't want to get entangled in this matter: "Madam, deduct half a year's month from her. By the way, arrange an independent courtyard for Sun Dan so that he can study hard. By the way, I want to formally detain her. The names of the three generations of Sun Dan's grandparents are recorded in the family tree. From today on, Sun Dan is an official descendant of my Sun family, and no one is allowed to be rude to him."
